If you know your U.S. history, there have been several attempts to adopt the metric system, all to no avail. It's the universal standard for most of the world and way more intuitive, yet the chances ...

A new laser-based method for measuring millimeter distances more accurately than ever before -- with an uncertainty of 10 picometers (trillionths of a meter) -- has been developed and demonstrated by ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

The fight to persuade Americans to ditch English units for the metric system in their everyday lives is largely lost. And now even some advocates of grams, meters and the like want to make a tactical ...

For decades, if you wanted to make a millimeter wave spectrum analyzer measurement, you were forced to use large, heavy bench test equipment because there were no other options available. To make ...

Georgia Tech researchers are shown with electronics equipment and antenna setup used to measure far-field radiated output signal from millimeter wave transmitters. Shown are Graduate Research ...
